Summary of the contracting process

The Hywel Dda University Health Board has undertaken a procurement process for the provision of mobile voice and data services under the P0346-Mobile Voice and Data contract. This procurement falls under the goods category, specified by CPV code 32583000, and serves the health board's operations in the UKL14 region, particularly Ceredigion, ensuring seamless communication coverage within the area. Initially initiated on July 14, 2025, and scheduled until July 13, 2028, this contract underwent a modification to update the contracting authority's registered address. The procurement was conducted using a limited procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition due to specific coverage challenges. The award was then confirmed to Vodafone Business with a contract valued at £67,212, signed on August 1, 2025, with the procurement process reaching the contract update stage by May 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications, particularly those adept at addressing regional connectivity issues within healthcare settings. Companies that provide reliable mobile voice and data services with experience in swift and efficient implementation or those looking to expand their footprint in the public health sector are well-suited to compete in such procurements. The Health Board’s preference for maintaining an arrangement with Vodafone highlights the potential for long-term business relationships and the assurance of continued contract opportunities for providers who can demonstrate excellence in service delivery and adaptability to unforeseen challenges. The specific requirements for alternative providers to enhance existing coverage imply a notable room for innovation and technological solutions in addressing such regional disparities.
